New Babylon, Constant Nieuwenhuys

New Babylon is an anti-capitalist city perceved and designed in 1959-74 as a future potentiality by visual artist Constant Nieuwenhuys.

Origin of the name

Initially known as Dériville (from "ville dérivée", literally, "drift city"), it was later renamed New Babylon.

Henri Lefebvre explained: "a New Babylon -- a provocative name, since in the Christian tradition Babylon is a figure of evil. New Babylon was to be the figure of good that took the name of the cursed city and transformed itself into the city of the future."

A utopian blueprint

In 1956, Western countries were at the dawn of a magmatic period that would reach its peak in the socio-political turmoil of 1968. During that year, the avant-garde Dutch artist Constant Nieuwenhuys started to work on an utopical project named New Babylon: a radical attempt to re-imagine the urban landscape and to question fundamental principles of architecture. New Babylon was a speculative city envisaged through media like collages, litographs and maps. This imaginary city was designed as:

“A decentered, multi-layered space for living, with underground and ground levels, as well as numerous layers above ground and terraces as the final icing. Configured as a rhizomatic network of huge links, it was made of a series of interlocking platforms raised above the Earth’s surface upon pilotis. These were built into various autonomous yet connected units—called sectors.” (Source)

This vision was born from a milieu of different perspectives, such as early cybernetics, 60’s urban subcultures, and artistic avant-garde movements, such as the Situationist group, to which Constant belonged to. New Babylon was planned for a ‘ludic’ society, where humanity is free from waged work and free to engage in all kinds of creative activities.

Mülteci sorunu ve Kozmopolitizm

Türkiye’de mülteci sorununun yoğun şekilde yaşandığı şehirlerimizi ve kent kültürünü, göç olgusu ve metaforu ile birlikte düşünmek bize hangi fırsatları sunar? Kentlerimizden başlayarak, kültüre ve toplumsal yaşama şekil veren bu “olay”, bizi nasıl etkiliyor? Mülteci krizi ve göç olgusu kültürümüzle nasıl ilişkilenecek? Göç olgusu, ne rakamlara, ne de sosyolojik olgulara indirgenemiyor. Çünkü…
